BackgroundThis study focuses on the risk of early miscarriage in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). These patients commonly experience heightened stress levels and may discontinue tr…

Quercetin (QR) is a natural flavonol compound widely distributed in the plant kingdom with extensive pharmacological effects. To find the potential clinical indications of QR, 156 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) regulated by QR were o…

To explore the clinical effects of Kegel exercise combined with rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT) on the pelvic floor muscle function, medical coping style, and sexual life quality after total hysterectomy. This was a retrospective c…

Abstract Background: To study whether ILs/TNFs in the follicular fluid (FF) of women with EMs are responsible for impaired follicular development or (and) ovulation or not, and then to explore the underlying mechanisms. Methods: follicular …

Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the most lethal gynecological malignant tumor. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress plays an important role in the malignant behaviors of several tumors. In this study, we established a risk classifier based …

Biologically active and nanoscale extracellular vesicles (EVs) participate in a variety of cellular physiological and pathological processes in a cell-free manner. Unlike cells, EVs not only do not cause acute immune rejection, but are much…

The two most prevalent subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) are ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). Patients with OCCC have a poor prognosis than those with HGSC due to chemoresistan…

Galectin-9 (Gal-9) is a vital member of the galectin family, functioning as a multi-subtype galactose lectin with diverse biological roles. Recent research has revealed that Gal-9's interaction with tumors is an independent factor that infl…

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation of lipid accumulation product (LAP) with metabolic syndrome (MS) and to assess the predictive value of LAP for MS risk in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with different body mass index (BMI).MethodsA tot…

BackgroundSuccessful embryo implantation requires the attachment of a blastocyst to the receptive endometrial epithelium, which was disturbed in the women with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). Endometrial β3-integrin was the most impor…

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus that not only causes severe pelvic pain and infertility but also increased risk for ovarian carcinogenesis in women of reproductive age. Here, we found …

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies on phthalate exposures in associations with uterine fibroids (UF) and endometriosis (EMT) are inconsistent. The underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationships o…

BackgroundFollicular microenvironment has been proposed as an important factor for oocyte grown and maturation. We sought to evaluate the oxidative stress and inflammatory levels in follicular fluid (FF) and association with embryo quality …

BackgroundThe aim of the study was to investigate the value of dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) in differentiating TP53-mutant from wild type, low-risk from non-low-risk …

Cryptotanshinone (CT), an active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza Bunge, exhibits a wide range of biological and pharmacological activities. Although the anticancer activity of CT is well known, the knowledg…

tRNA-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are derived from tRNA and include tRNA halves (tiRNAs) and tRNA fragments (tRFs). tsRNAs have been implicated in a variety of important biological functions, such as cell growth, transcriptional regulation, …

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Endometriosis (EMS) is a very complex disease with high heterogeneity. Recently, single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has been applied to comprehensively characterize cellular heterogeneity. Here, we built a new transc…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of β-sitosterol on endometrial cells to understand the underlying mechanism. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a laboratory-based experimental study conducted on animals and cells. Histological assays were…

BackgroundTo determine the predictive values of sperm parameters pre- and post-processing by density gradient centrifugation for clinical pregnancy rates (CPRs) following artificial insemination by husband (AIH) in infertile Chinese couples…

Appropriate clinical management of adnexal masses requires a detailed diagnosis. We retrospectively collected ultrasound images of 1559 cases from the first Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital and developed a fully automatic deep learnin…

Artificial intelligence (AI)-aided general clinical diagnosis is helpful to primary clinicians. Machine learning approaches have problems of generalization, interpretability, etc. Dynamic Uncertain Causality Graph (DUCG) based on uncertain …

BackgroundGestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) usually affects young women of childbearing age. After treatment for GTD, 86% of women wish to achieve pregnancy. On account of the impacts of GTD and treatments as well as patient anxiety, …

Endometrial receptivity damage caused by impaired decidualization may be one of the mechanisms of infertility in endometriosis (EMs). Our previous study demonstrated that Calpain-7 (CAPN7) is abnormally overexpressed in EMs. Whether CAPN7 a…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the recurrence rate and risk factors between conservative surgery followed by medical treatments and conservative surgery-only in patients with focal adenomyosis. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted in a s…
